God Moments

Today was one of those days filled with God Moments.

From the moment I woke up, I just felt a desire, a need, to connect with him. I got up and turned on Pandora Radio-- where I have a Praise and Worship channel that I enjoy listening to. Song after song, I just felt my spirit responding to the lyrics I heard.

One of the songs I couldn't stop singing--long after it ended on Pandora--was "Jesus Paid It All." That song just SLAYS me. He DID pay it all for us. "Jesus paid it all / All to Him I owe / Sin had left a crimson stain / He washed it white as snow." Those lyrics MOVE me, every time.

Reminds me of one of my favorite Bible verses, as well: "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." He died for the POTENTIAL in us. That's incredible, really, when you really think about it. I mean, WHO DOES THAT?!?!

It also reminds of a verse that says: "No greater love hath any man than this: that a man lay down his life for a friend." You know what that means, right? That He called us FRIEND long before we chose to follow Him. That blows my mind.

While getting ready this morning, I felt the Lord impressing me to go look in a particular drawer in one of our dressers. Without giving details about the financial stress I had suffered the day before, I can tell you that I "discovered" gifts in that drawer he directed me to--gifts that would put the food on our tables tonight.

People can say and think what they want. But people who bash my Savior have absolutely NO IDEA what it's like to serve Him, to live for Him, to grow to know him more daily. I really don't understand why everyone on this planet doesn't want to at least INVESTIGATE our Lord.

Honestly, it reminds me of the lyrics of a song by Skillet: "You're the Best Kept Secret of My Generation / The Best Kept Secret of All Time / The Best Kept Secret of My Generation / And I I I I Found You Out."

Just an hour ago, I sat around the kitchen table, eating a SPLENDID meal with my family. It was a meal that we enjoyed because of Him.

Another God Moment in a day full of God Moments.
